Serbia has become a magnet for thousands of people who want to be vaccinated from neighboring countries.
In front of the largest corona vaccination center in the capital Belgrade, numerous people from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia stood in line on Saturday.
Often whole families came after the Serbian authorities had declared that foreigners would be vaccinated against Corona free of charge at the weekend.
There were traffic jams at border crossings, as the Bosnian news portal Klix reported.
Serbia is one of the countries with the greatest vaccination success in Europe.
It not only uses the funds from Biontech and Pfizer as well as Astrazeneca, but also the Russian Sputnik V and the vaccine from the Chinese manufacturer Sinopharm.
Of the country's seven million inhabitants, more than two million have received at least one dose.
However, the willingness to vaccinate has decreased significantly in recent times.
Most neighboring countries, on the other hand, have only just started mass vaccination and are struggling with shortages.
Serbia has already given away small amounts of vaccine to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia.

Critics accuse President Aleksandar Vucic of wanting to exploit the situation politically.
In addition, the expiry date for the Astrazeneca vaccine doses in the country is imminent, which is why they must be used up as soon as possible.
However, this could not be officially confirmed.
